After hearing the ongoing doors v.s. wheels debate, there is only one correct answer. There are clearly more wheels in the world, and if you disagree, you are the problem. 

Door people are doing everything they can to try and strengthen their argument but still fail each time. No, an advent calendar hatch does not count as a door. 

By the way, did you know a doorknob is considered a wheel? That should be the end of this debate, but I can go on for a while. 

The argument can be made “What about cruise ships,” or “Have you forgotten about skyscrapers?” No, I have not forgotten about them. Have you ever thought about the amount of suitcases on a cruise ship, each with four wheels? Or how about the amount of rolling chairs in a skyscraper?

Think of shopping carts, bikes, scooters or anything that rolls. Doors are beaten by wheels in just about every situation. 

Even in cars, counting the spare tire wheels win 5:4. 

As I sit and write this story, I see about 25 rolling desk chairs, each with 5 wheels, yet I only see one door. Doors are outnumbered 125:1. Multiply that by the number of classrooms in the entire building and if you still think there are more doors, you are not the type of person I want to associate with. 

Every second of every day, 16.5 hot wheel cars are produced. That’s about 66 wheels produced every second and 5,702,400 a day, yet not one functioning door. 

Have you ever ridden a train? Me neither but I have seen one before and wow, there are plenty of wheels on those. 

If I have been able to change your mind, good. But if I have still yet to convince you there are more wheels in the world, you most likely need serious mental help and if you reach out to me I have a few therapists I can recommend.
